The cottage is consistently described as very clean, with only one negative comment which does not specifically mention cleanliness. This suggests that guests are generally very satisfied with the standard of cleanliness.

Guests find the beds comfortable and the cottage cosy, with a special mention of the upstairs sitting room. The presence of a garden and sunbathing deck adds to the comfort. However, the lack of an upstairs toilet was noted by one guest.
Facilities are generally well-received, with guests appreciating the fully equipped cottage and extra living spaces. However, one review suggests that the property could benefit from some updates, which slightly lowers the score.

We were all extremely impressed with every aspect of our stay. Tom, our Cocker Spaniel loved the garden and sunbathing on the deck, as did we.
